Tokamak Heating and Current Maintenance with Intense Pulsed Ion Beams.

Abstract

This paper examines tokamak heating with intense pulsed ion beams. It finds that plasma can be heated to ignition or to Q approximately 1 and depending on the injection scheme, the current can be maintained or even generated by the beam. (Author)
